1. COURSE INFORMATION

In the two-year duration, the visually impaired candidate is trained on subjects:

professional skill, professional knowledgeas well as employability skills related to job role. In
addition, the visually impaired (either partial or full blind) candidate is entrusted project work
with proper supervision. Extracurricular activities are used to build up his confidence. Following
the Basic Skills development practice, his Practical Skills are gradually developed up to level 3
(i.e. in NSQ notification from unskilled to semiskilled). Simultaneously, Theory Subjects are
taught in the same hands on manner, to have him apply his growing knowledge base to
executing his practical tasks.

The Broad components covered during the course are given below:
FIRST YEAR: In this year the contents covered are the safety aspects related to the trade and
basic skills. Arm movement, finger movement, gross and fine manipulation, finger dexterity,
memory of location as well as memory of shape, and reaction time are developed. Also, in focus
are the development of the concept of shapes – square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, etc –
together with the basic fitting operations, viz. filling, sawing, drilling, tapping, checking by Go –
No Go gauge, along with handling jigs and fixtures, sheet metal work, and riveting joints with
pop-rivet gun. The candidate learns to identify and mount different job holding devices with
standard operations practice in the lathe machine, with specified accuracy through callipers;
dissimilar material fit as per required tolerance. Further skills are developed in different turning
operations, parallel and taper turning by from tool and swiveling compound rest.

SECOND YEAR: In this year, the candidate learns to use external and internal thread (BSF) to
produce male /female components with turning long shaft in the lathe. He prepares different
components in capstan lathe which is more suitable for the visual impaired. Further, cutting
materials in power saw machine and shearing operations are learnt, with assistance. In this year
different operations are learnt on the shaping machine and milling machine which also include
setting simple operations and maintenance work, with assistance. Practice on the skills learnt in
the previous six months is stressed.

Every year 150 hours of mandatory OJT (On the Job Training) at nearby industry,
wherever not available then group project is mandatory.

4 On the Job Training (OJT)/ Group Project 150 150

Trainees of one-year or two-year trade can also opt for optional courses ofup to 240
hours in each year for 10th/ 12th class certificate along with ITI certification, or, add on short
term courses.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of course
through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through summative
assessment as notified by the DGT from time to time.

a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by
Formative Assessment Method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning
outcomes. The training institute have to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in
assessment guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative assessment
template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade Test
for awarding NTC will be conducted Controller of examinations, DGTas per the guidelines. The
pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGT from time to time. The learning
outcome and assessment criteria will be basis for setting question papers for final

6
Metal Cutting Attendant (For Visually Impaired)

assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check individual trainee’s profile
as detailed in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.

2.4.1 PASS REGULATION

For the purposes of determining the overall result, weightage of 100% is applied for six
months and one year duration courses and 50% weightage is applied to each examination for
two years courses. The minimum pass percent for Trade Practical and Formative assessment is
60% & for all other subjects is 33%.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial

barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while
undertaking assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for teamwork,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scarp/wastage as per procedure,
behavioral attitude, sensitivity to environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards
OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising some of the following:

 Job carried out in labs/workshop

 Record book/ daily diary
 Answer sheet of assessment
 Viva-voce
 Progress chart
 Attendance and punctuality
 Assignment
 Project work
 Computer based multiple choice question examination
 Practical Examination

Evidences and records of internal (Formative) assessments are to be preserved until

forthcoming examination for audit and verification by examination body. The following marking
pattern to be adopted for formative assessment:

3. JOB ROLE

The Metal-cutting Attendant (for V.I.) operates various types of powerdriven metal
cutting machines with ease. He does so by measuring out the sample, with measuring
instruments, to note its different dimensions and the sequence of operations needed for the
job, with assistance. He identifies the metal piece, mounting on chuck, or jig, or fixtures, and
cutter on appropriate machine (lathe, shaper, drill, milling, power saw and shearing), with
assistance. He undertakes all repetitive work on lathe, Capstan lathe, drill and other machines
and puts them to good use.

Note: The Job Role is modified from that of a fully able person. A visually impaired person is
unable to grind any tool, measure according to the drawing, cut the internal or external thread
on lathe and adjust tool-travel.

May be designated as Metal Cutting Attendant (For Visually Impaired) according to

nature of work done
